"Who
was
her
partner?
It
must
be
a
lover,
because
who
else
would
she
trust
more
than
you?
You
don't
go
out
much,
and
your
friends
are
few.
But
Sir
George
Burnwell
was
one
of
them.
I
heard
he
was
bad
with
women.
It
must
be
him
who
wore
those
boots
and
took
the
gems.
Even
if
Arthur
saw
him,
he
felt
safe
because
Arthur
couldn't
talk
without
hurting
his
family."
"You
can
guess
what
I
did
next.
I
dressed
like
a
poor
man
and
went
to
Sir
George’s
house.
I
talked
to
his
valet
and
learned
Sir
George
hurt
his
head
the
night
before.
I
spent
six
shillings
to
buy
an
old
pair
of
his
shoes.
I
went
to
Streatham
and
saw
they
matched
the
tracks."
"I
saw
a
poorly
dressed
man
in
the
lane
yesterday,"
said
Mr.
Holder.
"Yes,
that
was
me.
I
found
my
man,
so
I
went
home
and
changed.
I
needed
to
be
careful
because
I
wanted
to
avoid
a
scandal.
I
went
to
see
him.
At
first,
he
denied
everything.
But
when
I
told
him
all
the
details,
he
tried
to
scare
me
with
a
weapon.
I
knew
him
well,
so
I
pointed
a
gun
at
him.
He
became
more
reasonable.
I
offered
him
money
for
the
stones—£1000
each.
He
was
upset
and
said,
'I
sold
them
for
six
hundred
for
all
three!'
I
got
the
address
of
the
buyer
by
promising
no
prosecution.
I
went
to
the
buyer
and
bought
the
stones
back
for
£1000
each.
Then
I
went
to
your
son,
told
him
everything
was
fine,
and
finally
went
to
bed
at
two
o'clock
after
a
hard
day's
work."
"A
day
that
saved
England
from
a
big
scandal,"
said
the
banker,
standing
up.
"Sir,
I
cannot
thank
you
enough,
but
I
will
show
my
gratitude.
Your
skill
is
beyond
what
I
have
heard.
Now
I
must
go
to
my
son
and
apologize
for
my
mistake.
What
you
said
about
Mary
breaks
my
heart.
Not
even
your
skill
can
tell
me
where
she
is
now."
"I
think
we
can
say,"
Holmes
replied,
"that
she
is
with
Sir
George
Burnwell.
It
is
also
certain
that
whatever
her
wrongs
are,
she
will
soon
get
enough
punishment."
